CPU fan keeps revving up even though i have no intensive programs open
(Not sure where to put this)
The CPU fan keeps revving up every few minutes for a couple of seconds and then down again. I only have light applications like microsoft word and firefox open....
This seems to be much noiser than my old lenovo laptop, which has a 2nd gen i7 quad core (this one has a 3rd gen i7 quad core).
Core temps are about 40-45 degrees celsius on average although some cores sometimes spikes to 50 degrees.
Can anyone tell me if anything can be done about the noise? Laptop is brand new, so dust should not be a problem.
